    摘要: Disclosed example welding systems comprise: a power input configured to receive input power from batteries; power conversion circuitry configured to convert the input power from the batteries to welding power; a user interface configured to input one or more parameters for the welding power; a battery monitor configured to determine properties of the batteries; and control circuitry configured to: determine a welding capacity associated with the parameters for the welding power and based on the determined properties of the batteries; in response to determining that the welding capacity does not support the parameters for the welding power, output an indication representative of limitations on the parameters for the welding power based on the welding capacity; in response to determining that the welding capacity supports the parameters for the welding power, output an indication of remaining welding capacity; and control the power conversion circuitry based on the parameters.

    摘要: Disclosed example welding power systems and methods monitor supply power inputs from a primary power source (108). The supply power is compared to current and/or power threshold values corresponding to limits associated with the primary power source. If the supply power exceeds a threshold value associated with the limits, the welding power system controls welding parameters or devices to adjust a supply power demand, thereby ensuring the draw on supply power does not exceed the capabilities of the power source. In some examples, the disclosed welding power system (102) presents a subset of welding parameters identified as available for operation based on the capabilities of the power source. The user interface (114) displays only the subset of available welding parameters to an operator for selection, thereby ensuring the draw on supply power does not exceed the capabilities of the power source.

    摘要: Systems and apparatus are disclosed relating to smart regulators and smart manifolds for welding-type systems. A smart regulator may be coupled to a fluid tank and provide information regarding the current pressure(s) and/or flow rate to a remote device and/or operator. The remote device may also determine and/or output additional information, such as, for example, remaining fluid and/or remaining time before the fluid runs out or becomes dangerously low. A smart manifold may be configured to work with several different fluid supplies. In this way, an operator may easily mix fluid types, switch between different fluid types, and/or switch between different fluid tanks.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed relating to smart spool detection for welding-type systems. In some examples, the smart spool detection system uses one or more first sensors and/or second sensors to detect and/or determine a first parameter of the spool (e.g. size). One or more second sensors are used to detect and/or determine a second parameter of the spool. In some examples, the second parameter may be a weight of the spool, a distance to the filler material (e.g., wire) retained on the spool, and/or an angle of a guide arm lever supported by filler material retained on the spool. The smart spool detection system determines a remaining amount of consumable filler material remaining on the spool using the first and second parameters.
